Episode 580: Virtual E3

This week’s episode has heated arguments between Jordan and Jonah, as this new podcast runs a little long. However, there are tons of news items to make up for the lack of a new show last week.

The news items include:

• Bethesda’s Hines unexcited over next-gen console launch
• Borderlands 2‘s melee skill tree for Zer0 “thanks to them ignoring” Pitchford
• EA’s Gibeau brags he has not green-lit any single player games
• Valve responds to angry indie developers over $100 Steam Greenlight fee
• Crystal Dynamics: Lara Croft had become “unrelatable“
• City of Heroes may be saved from shutdown
• Ron Gilbert blames point and click adventure stagnation on DOOM

The contest continues – just mention what your favorite game from the 2000’s was – and a winner will be announced next week.
